Children without parental care belong to one of the most vulnerable marginalized groups in BiH, and as such deserve special care and attention. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, there are between 2500 and 4000 children without parental care, half of which were left without both parents. The government and the society must care for them, because they have no one else to turn to. These children are forgotten by the society and the media, and in many cases they are even stigmatized by those around them.
Youth organization “Democratic Youth Organization” from Velika Kladuša and USAID’s Marginalized Populations Support Activity (PPMG/USAID) decided to show that these youth deserve a bright future and a chance to become equal members of the society – by finding them jobs.
